looking for a summer duvet insert will this be light enough?

Well, it's been 85 degrees out already a couple times, if you keep your thermostat at 72-74 it's not to bad. I sleep very hot, and it's not been to uncomfortable for me this far.

Depends on the person, but I personally haven't had a problem. In the summer it's cool enough, if the winter it's warm enough.

I bought this 2 years ago and found it to be well constructed and attractive, though I always kept is in a duvet cover. The corners have the strap for ties, which I also love to help keep the cover in place. Alas, it is just too warm for us. We live in Maryland and keep our furnace at 66 degrees at night, but would still wake up too warm so I gave it to a friend. But the weight is fabulous- light weight, warm, well made. I would love to find another just like it that is not quite as warm. I started a few years ago with down- too warm- hoped this light weight alternative would work, but did not.

I bought a duvet thinking it would fit well inside the cover but it didn't. The duvet cover is too large for my insert, even though I bought a full size duvet and a "full" size duvet insert. If you buy an insert that is close to the measurements of the cover you should be fine, stay within an inch or two. The cover is nicely made, durable, good quality and very pretty looking.

I don't have the precise measurements, but the insert fitted my Oake Luminis Cali King duvet cover perfectly (hangs about a foot on the left, right and foot of the bed). It might not be wide enough for a Standard/ Eastern King.

That is fairly subjective but I'll try. I like sleeping in cool rooms so I like a bulky, thick comforter ("duvet") and I consider this one light weight although it is very comfortable for me. It does not feel heavy on my body at all.

Yes, it is a nice weight for a bedspread. Be sure to check the dimensions, though. The king size just barely covered our matress, and some of the boxspring was exposed.

I have to be honest, I use this comforter year round. We have central air and I like it to be chilly in the room & then cover up with more than a sheet or light blanket. Its not a heavy comforter like some are, you're laying there & the weight pushes your feet down to one side or the other. But again, I keep the room nice & cool year round, so I don't switch out to a bedspread in summer. Only if opening the windows do I kick off the bedspread lol.

This comforter should be perfect for this weather, its light and only provide medium warmth.

I don't know. You would have to contact the company that made it. It's light weight, and that's what I wanted. I don't like heavy bedspreads or comforters that are heavy and bulky. I don't use it when I sleep. I fold it down to the end of the bed so it won't get all wrinkled up. I'm very picky, and I really like this. I got the orange and it looks great. I haven't washed it yet, so we'll see how that goes.

I'm in California and tend to be warm in most beds, this comforter is perfect for me. If you need more weight and tend to not be warm enough in bed you will need additional blankets or you could buy two and place in a duvet which I've considered but in the end I don't need the added warmth.

This comforter is a light gold. I will leave this on the bed in summer air conditioning so Florida should be fine. I love it!

I have used the "insert" as a comforter and it looks wonderful. I didn't need or want a duvet.

I find it light weigjt but warm especially with a duvet cover om it. On the downside I find after having it for a year that the down does come through even with 1200 thread count. Have used down all my life and never experienced that. Will continue to purchase down but will look for different manufacturer.

I'm not sure it's going to be lightweight enough for you then. it's not heavy like the old woven cotton flags, but its stiff enough.

i have a medium weight comforter and for me i find it too warm for the spring and fall. try a lightr wieght that would probably work out best.

I bought the queen duvet insert. It fit perfectly into the queen size duvet cover I bought at a store.

It's perfect for a warmer climate comforter. Lightweight, not heavy. I love this set.
